The thought that unleashed the power to reach into worlds -
Beyond our vision - and also our imagination - THE Outside
And worlds hidden inside our vision - THE Inside
The power of images has never been more relevant. It was a song that i had heard a zillion times in my life before. But something was different this time. My mind was filled with mindless rambling by Dan Brown about ancient mysteries in his book - The Lost Symbol. But at best it had stroked within me the fire to at least see what lay stark in front of me.
But what 550 odd page thriller couldn’t do, was accomplished by a simple enigma song and images of all gr8 men who have walked this earth - Buddha, Jesus, Swami Vivekananda, Shirdi Sai Baba - all but forms of the one supreme one.
Preaching a philosophy, so pristine, so simple, and yet elusive. Why was it that something so simple had to be mysterious - let alone being elusive? It’s not that we don’t know of its existence. It’s just that we are ill-equipped to tap into its potential. But would a cleaner body and a cleaner soul (if there was any - I question) lead to the ultimate feeling ever. As I always believed, it was all about the “feel”.
No bishop is going to help you in this mission; no pundit is going to help, no Sufi or any saint. The power of man lies within himself. It was not without reason, that the earliest Hindu scriptures preached – “Brahman is the only truth, the world is illusion, and there is ultimately no difference between Brahman and individual self”.
Come to think of this - have you ever questioned - Einstein and his theory of relativity - No! Why because many people in the world - great scientists, physicists, corroborate the ample evidences and say that it is true. However, whatever be the case you still believe it - without necessarily understanding what it says.
Then why is that when it comes to GOD, human mind gets all worked up and logical that it has to protest even the mere existence of GOD. I use the same analogy - just because we don’t understand HIM and many of his doings - doesn’t mean - HE doesn’t exist!
So with all this rambling going on into my mind, stuck a thought that was as clear it could ever have been - Which is why is it called divine intervention!!
Is it just because that man is not able to fathom all the happenings in this world
Is our mind liberated enough to look into worlds -
That exist beyond the materialistic 3 dimensions - we see in our life.
Perhaps not –
Which is why we seek pleasures –
More materialistic in nature,
Only to feel the guilt and later atone for our guilt at HIS altar
Everyone was missing some point somewhere. So was I.
There is a certain "feel" that you get –
When you go to a shrine, chant prayers!
I guess when I say I “feel” GOD, many would argue –
Especially the skeptics
That it’s just you - listening to your own self.
Bingo! I have the point - that’s what is GOD all about.
How many times do we listen to that tiny voice that speaks inside us?
The liberation - even though for a second - does appear clear.
One video had sent me down into an avalanche of thoughts –
Only to be paralyzed by the –
Enormity of the thought!
The power of music had been elevating!
The power of images was uplifting!
Everything was falling into place!
Why we have all the sacred hymns -
To give us a distinct sense of clarity in thinking!
To know what we ought to know -
But strangely -
The clutter inside our mind - overrides one and all -
The hymns liberate us from the clutter - so that we listen inside us!
Why we have images of yogis meditating in trance -
It gives us an insight into view points -
We don’t see -
Indeed everything was falling into place!
What caused that change in me - GOD only knows - quite ironic!
May be that’s y people call it divine intervention.
Would chastity help me in this journey - again GOD only knows!
Would I be able to speak to worlds that apparently exist beyond 3d - God only knows!
Power of thought perhaps -
That has still remained the same -
There are no ancient mysteries - but present ones - the mystery of man and his powers
And a man who realizes it - is called GOD!
The gr8 souls realized - " I realized I am GOD - you haven’t" - HE says!
Can I ever have that realization - GOD only knows!
Listen inwards - the voice may be lost amidst the clutter inside your head! - HE says!
It was all making sense!
All the scriptures, mysteries mean nothing - Just know yourself!
Can I listen to my voice - GOD only knows!
Yes, I know - to reach GOD - reach yourself!
To reach into yourself - reach out to others!
From inside to outside - the journey ends!
HE always says - "Know that MY spirit is immortal, know it for yourself!"
Feel his presence, feel yourself!
Enjoy the emptiness - not implying emptiness of thought -
But of action - a sense of calm, stability - that’s when we reach GOD!
No needs to tell you -
You ought to know for yourself!
I stayed still - stayed calm – thought more than I acted!
There is a void inside my mind!
Yet, it had not been clearer!
I was hearing myself!
I was hearing GOD!
Silence prevailed!
I sense a small ant run through my body!
And I am back to the earth!!
